Happening to look hack yester-
day to the newspaper files of 1870
we found an elaborate discussion of
a plan of sewerage for San Francis
CO. Apparently General Alexander,
a noted engineer of that day, had
been invited to give his views, and
his views occupy several columns
of the Bulletin. Then they were
talked over and laid aside; 80 that
seventeen years later San Francisco
is still found discussing the sewer
age question ana inviting plans.

THE ASYLUM REPORT.

The report of the Asylum Com
mission has been made fully exon
Grating DR.. Bishop of the charges
made against him. The Board has
ordered 1000 copies of the testi-
mony printed in pamphlet form
This Is wise action on the pant of
the Board and it gives the public
an opportunity of carefully reading
the evidence and judging for them
selves just how true or false these
charges were.
The charges we're very grave and
If they were untrue the parties
making them ought to be made to
sweat for such work. There is a
difference Of opinion among people
now as to whether the charges were
wholly true or wholly false or part
~ true or false. No newspaper
gave a full report and in such mat
tiers reporters are quite apt to pick
out that portion of testimony which
suits them best. The pamphlet
viii enable every man to go over
the case who cares to do so and
carefully weigh the evidence which
caused the Commissioners to reach
their verdict. In the report some
very strong language was used rel
alive to DR.. Dawson. We think
such language is out of place in
report of that kind. DIR. Dawson
was not on trial and should not
have been alluded to specially in
the report.
If DR.. Dawson has made false
charges maliciously the proper
course is an arrest and trial for
defamation of character.

The APPEAL Internationally
stated that the Asylum Board
would refuse to entertain any more
charges against DR.. Bishop. What
it did say In its report was that no
repetition of the charges would be
heard; nor any charges made by
DIR. Dawson.

A Pretty Custom.

1t was a pretty custom long ago
for lovers to exchange rings. The
gentleman did not have to spend
months income for pretty trinket
for which he got no return, but he
also wore and cherished q souvenir
from his sweetheart. Chaucer des-
cribes heroine as giving her lover
ring on which were engraved
suitable love notices and receiving
like one in return. Shakespeare
makes more than one allusion to
this custom. In the 1.-TWO Gentle
men.of Verona" Julia gives Porteus
a ring, saying keep you this re-
membrance for thy Julia's sake"
To which he replies "Why, then
we'll make exchange here, take you
this"
A ''gimmal' or linked ring was
then invented, which gave still graf
er force and significance to the GUS
tom. 1t was made of double and
often triple links which turned upon
a pivot. 1t could be opened, show
ing three rings. A small hand was
attached to each outer ring, which
when closed, caused the hand to
clasp, inclosing heart which was
affixed to the central notched ring
1t was customary to break lthese
rings asunder in ia solemn manner
over the bible. 1t was always done
in the presence of witness, who
kept the center link, the betrothed
couple reserying the two outside
links. When the marriage con-
tract was fulfilled at the alter the
three portions were united, and the
ring used in the ceremony.-JeaUel-

An old lady being asked how il was that
her children were so prosperous and hap
by, replied in this quaint jingle:
taught the girls TO knit and sew.
He taught the boys to pillow and NOW.
And as they all the older grow
The more they have to feed them.
For each their hands already turn,
Their bread and butter, clothes 10 earn,
And thus engaged they also learn
These lessons, how to heed them,
And with it all they had their sport,
As every child that's good had ought.
1t mingled wealth with health and
brought
No heavy toll to task them.
And thus the seeds so early sown,
Have brought forth fruit now nearly
grown,
The Lord will claim them for his own.
And that is all we ask Him.

Language of Finger Nails.

He who keeps his nails well round
ed at the tips is proud man.
Nails which remain long after be-
ing cut level with the finger ends are
a sign of generosity.
The owner of very round and
smooth nails is of peacable and
conciliatory disposition.
He who keeps his nails somewhat
long, round and tipped with black is
q romantic poet.
He who has white spots on his
nails is fond of the society of ladies,
but is tickle in his attachments.
If you come across q man with
long and pointed nails you may take
it that he is either player OF the
guitar, a tailor or an attorney.
Transparent nails light red, mark
a cheerful, gentle and amiable dispo-
sition. Lovers with transparent nails
usually carry their passion to the
verge Of madness.
He who has the nail OF his right
thumb slightly notched is a regular
glutton, even nibbling at himself, as,
when not having eatables at hand, he
falls to biting his own fnger-nails.
He who keeps his nails irregularly
cut is hasty and determined. Men
who have not the patience to cut
their nails properly, generally come
to grief; most of them commit sui.
eide or get married.
He whose nails are detached from
the finger at the further extremities
and when cut showing a larger pro-
portion of the finger than ualought
never to get married, as it would be
wonder if he were master in his
own house, for short nails betoken
patience, good nature and, above all,
resignation under severe trials

A Peculiar Sign.

The lover of fun is not unknown
among the serious-looking Celestials,
who during the last few years have
been collecting in some parts of
Australian colonies. A shop-keep-
er, wishing to advertise his articles
in the Chinese languages, engaged a
Chinaman to paint him a sign, ex-
pecting, of course, that it would be
a very enticing one. 1t did not an
swer his expectations, however, for
the only'effect it had on the 'rela-
tions of the sun and moon,' as the
Chinese term themselves, was to ex-
cite laugh. At length the shop
keeper, by bride, obtained trans
lation in English of the advertise
ment, and found it to be as follows
Don't buy anything here. Shopkeep-
er rogue.

country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it Is essen
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
In the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are SO
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides,. committed without app
parent reason, or underso-called
depression of Spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wonlan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the In
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings:-h
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness;
loss of appetite and disgustwith
food; loss Of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
lowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donment of the habits and GUS
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use Of Shaker Ertroct of Roots
(Seigcl's Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. TO do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion of bile, ex-
polling waste matters from the
system, and purifying the blood.
